• How does a cross-functional team work together with other departments in order to improve the developer functionality?
  
• How developer experience is about product, documentation and engineering collaborating together?
  
• What is her role in the API Review Committee, which helps ensure APIs are standardized and maintain their API style guide?
  
• Docs revamp - how have they approached it, why have they done it, where is it going next?

• And last but not least, how have they incorporated user feedback into the docs process!
